COUNTY CONVENTION.
Republicans Meet and Name a Strong
Ticket.
The Republicans of Webster county
met at the court house in lteil Cloud,
Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock,
(ieorgo Newhouse, secretary of the
comity central committee, called the
convention to order, in the absence of
Chairman Cather. Following the ap
pointment of a committee on creden
tials and a committee on permanent
organization the convention adjourned
until 1 :.')() p. in.
Upon the reassembling of the con
vention the committee made their re
ports. The tvport of the committee or
permanent organization recommend
ing Emanuel 1'eters of (Juide Rock for
chairman and Oeorge Xcwhouso for
secretary was adopted.
The lirst order of business was the
selection of delegates to the state con
vention, and upon motion it was
agreed to allow Secretary of State
(Jalusha to choose the delegation.
It was then moved that the chair
man of the various delegations select
delegates the congressional, iloat rep
resentative and senatorial conventions,
which was amended so the delegations
should not be selected until the choice
of the convention for senator and iloat
representative was made.
Following this aeiion nomination
for county attorney were called for.
and it was moved that A. M. Walters
be renominated by acclamation, but
the motion was lost. On the informal
ballot Walters received 111 votes. Chatliu
i:i, Keeney 10, Overman Sand Colviu 15.
Tlie first formal ballot gave Walters
100, Chanin K.. and Walters wis de
cliircd the nominee of the convention.
This action of the convention was a
deserved compliment to .Mr. Walters,
whose conduct of the county attorney's
olllce has been above reproach, inas
much as he has refused to prosecute
criminal eases in which the county
would be put to great expense with
out much possibility of securing a
conviction. Mr. Walters has also made
a record in the matter of collecting
lines from convicted persons which
has not been equalled in many years.
Nominations for representative were
called for and on the informal ballot
Uenkel received 47, Ellingor 23, Mills
J 8, Putnam 17, Johnston SI.
On the first formal ballot the voto
was: Uenkel 57, Johnston 27, Ellingor
SO, Mills 10, Putnam 10.
On the second formal ballot Uenkel
received 78, Kllinger 10. Mills 20,
Johnston IS, and Uenkel was declared
the nominee.
Win. Uenkel, of Inavnle, is one of
the best known farmers and stockmen
in the west part of the county, and
the convention could have made no
better choice for the honor.
There was no opposition to Dr. U.
F. Uaines for Iloat representative, and
he was declared the unanimous choice
of Webster county for that olllce. and,
as it is our turn to have this oflice. he
will undoubtedly be the choice of the
Iloat convention.
There were live candidates for the
senatorial nomination, and on the lirst
formal ballot W. E. Thorite of Bladen
was declared Webster county's choice!
and, as in the case of Iloat representa
tive, it is Webster county's turn to
have the senator, Mr. Thorite will
probably receive the nomination.
W. U. Anderson was nominated for
county commissioner to succeed him
self. Secretary of State (Jnlusha did not
name the delegates to the state con
vention, and the delegates to the other
conventions are:
Congressional Dan (Iarber, C. C.
MeConkuy, I. 11. Colvin, C. 10. Putnam,

Ex-Sherill' Shelburn of Alma came
to Red Cloud with SheritV Davis of
Harlan countv Saturday morning in
search of the former's wife and her
paramour, Charley Xewtotu whom it
was thought they would find in Red
Cloud.
The intimacy of "the couple dates
back to the time when Newton was
deputy sheriff under Shelburn, and
during the hitter's trips away from
home on oilicial business Newton would
go to the Shelburn home to do chores.
A short time ago .Mrs. Shelburn went
to Colorado on a visit, and on her re
turn home, instead of stopping at
Alma, she came to Red Cloud expect
ing to meet Newton. The ex-sherin
was watching for his wife and follow
ed her to Red Cloud. Newton, who is
a married man with live children, got
scared and went back to Alma, leav
ing the woman to bear the brunt of
her husband's anger. However, they
patched up an arrangement by which
Mrs. Shelburn signed away her prop
erty rights in order to prevent New
ton and herself being prosecuted.
The woman is still in Red Cloud.
